Trump revokes every single Biden executive order signed by autopen… but his pardon of son Hunter will be exempt

Donald Trump has revoked every executive order Joe Biden signed with an autopen – escalating the battle over the legitimacy of the ailing ex-president’s administration.

‘I am hereby canceling all executive orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the autopen did so illegally,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday.

‘Joe Biden was not involved in the autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury.’

Presidents may legally undo executive orders signed by their predecessors, including pardons, however there is no legal mechanism to retract clemency after it is granted. 

Biden signed 162 executive orders during his tenure.

Among the most controversial were the autopen-signed pardons of Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and members of the January 6 committee.

Biden also pardoned family members – James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden – on his last full day in office.

The Democrat’s only hand-signed pardon during his final months in office was also his most pivotal – the order signed for his recovering cocaine-addict son, Hunter.
